Purism has now launched their campaign to crowdfund their the Librem 5 smartphone I was writing about recently.

They ask for USD 1.5 Mio in total. Perks include a developer kit at USD 299 scheduled for June 2018, and (of course) the Librem 5 priced at USD 599, scheduled for January 2019.

The campaign will continue for 59 days, which (if I am not mistaken) makes October 23rd the last day of their campaign.

Note that the Crowdfunding happens on their own platform, they are not using Kickstarter or Indiegogo.
